Yes, Scarlett, this time of year (especially September) is very "iffy" for us here. Our island is only 8 square miles and doesn't even BEGIN to stop a category three or four hurricane, which we've lived thru to tell about....and it aint pretty or fun, trust me.

However, the storms we had today were very minor, not even tropical depressions. Just some well awaited grey days and rain that are much appreciated in this region. Thanks for asking.

Maybe we should change this to "DLN & The Weather" thread.....ha.

BTW - DLN....one more week to go, huh? Wish it were me! I'm SO ready to go back.

Statia,
anytime you feel like emailing me, you are welcome to :)

Statia, same here. I will talk Italy with you to your heart's content! Scarlett has my e-mail address, and she has my permission to pass it on.

Thanks you two. I'll do that!
